Good texture and easy recipe, but could have pointed out that there was no sugar in the recipe. I was all excited, pretty pie, no sweet. I sprinkled sugar on top to get some sweetness.
Tasted great! I did add 3/4 cup of sugar and I used more sour apples instead of the fuji which I didn’t have. I think a 1/2 cup of sugar would have worked just as well.
I have now made this pie about 6 or 7 times. My daughter does not like super sweet and this pie delivers a nice pie without sugar. Everyone I serve it to loves it. I’m making another one tonight for at home and I’ll be making one tomorrow to bring to dinner. I especially love this pie because of the no sugar. The apples are sweet enough. Thanks. Love this recipe.
Used three large apples, two red delicious and one granny smith. Apple’s baked up perfectly and seasoned through better the second day.
i can’t bake well. this was delicious !only change I made was fugi apples and only 1 granny smith.will make this again
What a wonderful pie to make especially when we want to invite family and/or friends who have to avoid sugar treats due to health issues. I made it last night for my dad who loves Apple pie. He loved it! We did not miss the fact that it had no sugar. It’s a matter of taste of course. But if you feel you just have to add sugar just add it. I personally loved it as is using Fuji apples because that’s what I had ;It was yummy! It was not lemony tasting at all . Next time I’ll probably use a mix of apples. Thank you for posting this recipe Debbie!
It was very tart and the 425 degree cooking temperature is much too hot. My crust was done well before the inside.
I made the recipe as written, using cortland apples. It was tasty, but very dry. The apples looked roasted, more than baked, however, when sluced it held together nicely. I served at Thanksgiving dinner and people seemed to enjoy it, and all but one piece went. In future I would adjust the flour based on the apples and add a little sugar, I think that might have helped there to be more sauce.
We loved, loved, LOVED this recipe. It was sweet, even without the added sugar, and came out perfect! My new favorite apple pie recipe!
Pretty good pie, 9 apples were too many, must of picked large ones, 425 is a little hot unless you foil the rim of your pie crust, I shot for firm not mushy with the apples (matter of fact my result was a little too firm, still delicious) hope this doesn’t post twice (centered my pic)
Very easy, I did add a quarter cup of brown sugar. I also did a lattice top, as I didn’t have enough dough. Will make again.
Very sour- needs sugar.
This is a tart apple pie. I added a sprinkle of sugar just because the apples were a little young and not fully sweet. A lovely pie overall.
I kind of liked the tartness and less sugar!
best no hassle pie no need to add sugar for me. good apples required of course
I added approx:5 tablespoon of light brown sugar. Was a hit. The sugar works for me!
My husband can not have sugar so I tried this for him and we both love it. It was the first pie I have ever made, and it turned out really good. I have improved with the next two pies, but did not change a thing. Thank you!!!!!!!
This was my first ever apple pie and I probably should have paid more attention to the fact that there wasn’t any sugar involved, but this pie came out sour and dry. It needs a lot more sweetness and moisture, perhaps pre-cooking the apples would help?
This is a great recipe for no sugar added pie. This pie held together well it was not runny like other apple pies. It tasted great the whole family liked it. I made it in the morning and by the next day all of it was eaten!
Go, Debbie! This has become the favorite apple pie in our house, although I do add 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar to the pie. We like to use 3 Fuji apples, 3 Granny Smiths, and 3 Gala apples.
I like my pies tart and not too sugary! I used my own crust recipe, though.
